If you sent a note to the teacher...

Would you expect a reply?

DD is 10 and I noticed last week she was struggling with some maths work the teacher had set, getting quite a few wrong when she normally makes few mistakes. The next day the teacher gave her a different set of work to the group she would normally be in and she was quite upset. She has always been top set.

Yesterday she made a real mess of one part of her homework so I made her re-do it and sent a note to explain why and also asked if there was something in particular she was struggling with and if there was anything I could work on. DD says she took the note and just said that's fine, no response.

So should I take this as a sign she isn't concerned? If you sent a note in would you expect a note back in response. I'm not cross or having a go at the teacher before anyone jumps on me, I know how busy she is.

We have red communication books and they always reply the day I write a note (not often ).

That's a good idea. No such thing here.

Can you email? I'm a lot more likely to respond quickly to an email just due to the amount of bits of paper I have flying around!

It maybe that she needs a bit of time to formulate a response, so you may still get feedback.

Give her a chance! If she's been teaching all day she probably won't have had time to think about the issue or come up with a proper reply.

You only sent the note in today. Give the poor teacher time.

I'd wait until after half term and then try to speak to her - so much better than notes and emails.

And try not to stress your your DD out by being over anxious about this

Ok thanks. As I said I'm not sure what to expect, and I know she's busy so she may still get round to it.
